When the Crumb team were approached by Gareth Pugh + Carson McColl to work with SAKEEMA on a project in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, we knew the results were going to be incredibly powerful. Their short film 'On The Pulse Of The Morning', features Sakeema and the inimitable words of Maya Angelou shot and was Directed/Produced by Carson + Gareth. ‘History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced, with courage, need not be lived again’ Featured on ShowStudio + UK Black Pride, you can read more on this special project below : 'This film is to highlight the 50th anniversary of Christopher Street Liberation Day — the first ever Pride march — which itself took place exactly one year on from Stonewall.
